land of lincoln (he was everywhere)
It makes me happy to know that good ol’ Abe is still there, keeping watch on things as varied as a Thai restaurant, cracked sidewalks, and planters that are decorated with vintage advertisements. In this part of the country, Abe never rests – you can spot him nearly anywhere, keeping an eye on things.

pig-hip
I am so happy that the Pig-Hip Restaurant has been around for over 50 years. That truly is quite an accomplishment, isn’t it?
And also, “pig-hip”?

cathedral reflections
I am convinced that my camera is smarter than I am – I didn’t even see the way the reflections in the floor made a cross until I was already home and the images were downloaded. Way to go, camera!

sun stripes and side eye
Moving on now, after what seems like a really long run of Cuban images.
This was at the Library of Congress on a sunny morning.
The man at the information desk at the entry told me that the second floor was the “grandest room in the District,” a comment I took as hyperbole. Until we walked upstairs. The room is covered with tiny mosaic tiles, some of which are gold and caught the light in a way that made the whole place just glow.

PS: Today starts my 15th year of posting daily photos. It started out to be a one-year “let’s see what happens” sort of deal; I had no idea THIS is what would happen – that I’d still be doing it, that I would have posted over 5,000 images, that I’d start to think of myself as a Photographer. I guess it shows the power of trusting the process, even if you’re not sure what the process even is.
at the religion store
I stepped into this little shop – next to the boxing gym and across the street from a church (Gimnasia de Boxeo Rafael Trejo and Hermandad de la Santísima Trinidad, if you’re keeping up with stuff like that) – because I spotted that sequined hat (?). The interior of the store was dark and it seemed like the hat (?) had stolen all the light for itself., leaving all the other religious artifacts to fend for themselves.
Or maybe I was having a heat stroke.
